Hi everyone. I know I've been gone for a long time (those that knew me) and I've been catching up on some programming the "live" way. Anyways, I have a question. How can I make an entity move with WASD? I've tried a number of ways but failed to find out. Would someone be kind enough to tell me? Thanks!

if keystate(17) = 1
move object objectnumber, speed
end if

eg
move object 1, .5


keystates are
17 = w
30 = a
31 = s
32 = d

Sometimes I like to use words out of contents

Hi, just use the keystate command. DBPro's new IDE has a keystate helper under the tools menu. Just check for the keystate being pressed and perform the necessary actions.

Little example


Hope this helps

Thanks a lot guys! I'll also take a look at that keystate helper, I haven't noticed it before.

It depends when you point with "before".Long time ago there was no keystate helper. Also correct me if i'm wrong(recently i left coding behind,so i'm little rusty), but move object command is gonna move the object by global axis, and if/when you rotate by some degree it still goes in the same direction, while you may expect other.If this satisfy you, then there is no problem, but i think you should know.You can dig some snippet in the forums for better WASD systems, probably there is.I cannot provide one myself.

I like bitwise operators. Although I'm not aware of any pro's or con's regarding this method.



To understand what's happening in the above code, you'll need to do some research on binary, bytes & bitwise operators.
